Now on Wowhead - Azerite Calculator and Filters

We're pleased to announce some updates to Azerite Trait tools in Wowhead's Battle for Azeroth database. All item pages now display an updated UI, similar to the in-game UI, and we've added filters making it easier to find all items using a certain trait.\r\rAzerite Powers are Battle for Azeroth's version of the Artifact system, providing gameplay customization options through extra abilities unlocked through helms, shoulders, and chests.\r\rLearn more about Azerite and see all the traits in the Heart of Azeroth guide\r\rAzerite UI\rThe Azerite UI on the beta recently received a significant update, with flashy circles rotating and locking into place. We've updated our UI to reflect the new options in game.\r\rEvery Azerite Armor page on Wowhead shows which Azerite Powers are attached. To view the calculator, go to a specific item's page, find the "Azerite Powers" section on that page, and select a class. You will then see the Azerite Powers for each tier.\r\rYou can mouseover the traits to see their tooltips and middle-click them to open their spell page as well. You can also share your Azerite Power builds with your friends, all you need to do is to share the URL of the page after you select the traits and it will direct them to the exact same build!\r\rHere are some examples below using Gezeitensprechermantel and Tunika des Verbanners:\r\r \r\rItems with Specific Powers\rWe have added a way in the Battle for Azeroth database to help you track down all the items that use a specific Azerite Trait:\rItems > Grants Azerite Power filter to show all the items with that trait ID. Example.\r\rThese options are in addition to the Azerite Trait Database, with options to sort by class, as well as Azerite Traits in Wowhead Tooltips.

This game has slowly the past few expacs lost respect it seems they don't ever listen to player feedback unless its from streamers or "pros". Trade Chat, mmo champ and people complain about the facebook game (garrison table) and the only thing they like about is the gold making not only do they not remove it they make it a requirement for some features of wow. For once i would like blizzard to follow up on feed back that doesn't effect mythic raiding 3v3 arenas. I want more choices to choose while leveling up some specs don't get to choose anything for 15 levels while leveling. Hell if it wasn't for talents every 15 levels some specs would get nothing new for 40 levels. They really need to add the old talent trees back and back them go to 120. only have a talent tree for 10 levels at a time and having it removed after an expansion is not fun. Your character should be getting new spells,skill and abilities per expansion not lose 2-6 things per expansion it makes you feel weaker. There is no progress RPG wise its for "balance only" ( rule of cool overrides any logic with lore these past few years), no reason to remove detect demons and the glyph to walk on water with the warlock mount that doesn't hurt other players why remove utility abilities like that?

Both content and class related. So far BfA feels stronger and stronger as a filler expac.

Why do they need something like this every expansion now? It would be a breath of fresh air not to have AP or Azerite grind.

Why do they need something like this every expansion now? It would be a breath of fresh air not to have AP or Azerite grind.\r\rThe azerite traits are a more flexible and ajustable replacement for the tier-boni. And about the azerite-grind: While the azerite-level somewhat influences the item-level of the heart of azeroth, you will want to level it up in order to get access to the boni. This way, it works more like the netherlight crucible in the sense that you won't have to level your heart of azeroth up anymore after getting to a certain rank.\r\rWhat I'm worried about is that this way, when you get an azerite piece in a raid, you might no be able to use it right away. So you might compare it to hit-rating where you have to get a certain amount before beginning to raid.\rSince the LFR-version of the azerite-armor probably requires a lower level, raiders will probably be forced to run lfr to optimize their early raiding.

I love every feature about BFA except this I like the mounts, most of the class changes but this just seems like Blizzard thought Artifacts will make more people join but had no intention of keeping them around with how weird they make the game feel, instead they give us something like artifacts but not like artifacts at all\r\rTo me they could of just tuned artifacts and reworked them instead of giving us a weird system of armor, maybe I will love it but I don\u2019t think I will

Awesome!\r\rCan't wait to grind billions and billions of azerite!\r\r-sigh\r\rGod forbid you have to play the game to make your character stronger.\r\rGrinding is not playing the game. Grinding is repeatedly killing the same mobs for hours to collect one item. Playing the game is questing, pet battles, raids, dungeons, crafting, etc. get it straight. Grinding is not fun.

Like AP in legion, the best ways to get azerite will be what you said: dungeons, raids, questing, etc. The sooner people stop viewing AP and azerite as some laborious active goal and start seeing it as passive damage boosts that will come faster the more you play the sooner they will find it more enjoyable. There\u2019s nothing wrong with the azerite system, just your perceptions.

I love it. In the story, Azerite is a powerful and mysterious substance. To the characters; us, npc's, etc, and to the gameplay, we get to actually interact with this substance and improve our armor \/ abilites with it. I love logging on to adventure on Azeroth and over time and through small steps, become stronger, more capable and interesting. This cool system allows for our characters to be able to do that, so I'm thankful and appreciative. It's all pretty polished and seamless to me - powerful stuff in the story is introduced and we get to take part in that story and power by interacting with the unique substance. I can't wait for Battle for Azeroth! \r\rI hope we get to meet the rest of the Vulpera and explore their culture, in wherever they are originally from. Thanks for reading all! Peace!

I love them trying to create the illusion of having choices in your azerite traits. \/s

The only thing this is doing again, is locking out your other specs and forcing you to play only one spec, or having to go to the reforge guy everytime you change your spec if you try to min-max (god forbid)....

This is how they want us to play, and it's a natural part of the gameplay, we've already been doing this with legendaries and trinkets in legion.

and you can change them I guess after you swap your spec

Can you please read stuff before saying things?You guess? Read it up yourself first.

Let me try to explain it: You have + 1 choices in the first outer ring.(DH-3, DRUID-5, REST-4)

Either you pick the universal trait which gives you benefit in all of your specs.Or your choose the one for your spec. Usually you would want the trait for your spec. So there is only a real choice of 2 different traits. The universal one - and the spec-specific one.You wouldn't pick the Prot Pala trait if you wanted to play Retri Pala, right? It would have made more sense to just transform the spec-specific trait as old 2pc and 4pc set boni did - but it wouldn't look as cool as a pyramid...

And no, you cannot compare it to changing talents. Since the choice you make LOCKS it in. The only way to change them is to go to the reforger in a major city. For talents it would be enough to stay at a nearby Inn, or to use Foliant des ruhigen Gemüts. You could easily change them on the go, if you had to. Or do you want to be the person inbetween raid bosses to port to the city and let the other raid members wait? Performance depends on the tuning of those traits of course. But neither do I want to perform worse than I could because I had to switch to another spec, nor would I want the raid team to wait. Especially if there is no warlock in the raid for easy summon.

Also having duplicate or spare items is a luxury you do not always have.

I know that is what they want. And I am ok with using different pieces for different uses.\rWhat I was talking about was the spec-specific traits on the outer ring. There are essentially only two real choices for your spec. The other traits on that outer ring are dead and never taken.\rAssuming you will want to always pick the trait that is useful to your spec, of course.

Awesome!\r\rCan't wait to grind billions and billions of azerite!\r\r-sigh\r\rGod forbid you have to play the game to make your character stronger.\r\rProblem is a lot of people play more than one character. This will limit people like it did in Legion..\r\r"Hey guys can I join you?"\r"How many Artifact Traits you have?\r"Well I just star... you are being ignored"\r\rWhile this is a lot more alt-friendly than Legion was at the beginning it's still a mechanic that will limit players which is stupid. Blizzard is trying mechanics that would "force" you to play more, so that they can show numbers in front of shareholders I guess?
